A350 Deliveries and Routes

The lavatory depicted behind row 29 of the seat map at the back of the Business cabin in the middle is actually 2 lavatories, so there are 4 in total.

Ah ok. The seat map is showinh one handicapped lavatory as of now. Hopefully they will correct it to be more accurate.

Just noticed that the new ULRs have the same number of lavatories (vs current long haul A350s - 3 for 42 pax) in Business for more total Business passengers (67). Hopefully the waits for lavatories won’t be too long.

For comparison, latest A380s have 5 lavatories for 78 pax.

Thanks for sharing these lovely photos and your updates as always @SQKevin. And you’re definitely on the spot re SGB being delivered this weekend. According to FR24 the aircraft is now on the way to SIN, flying the “normal” TLS-SIN route this time. At the moment it is flying over the Black Sea, with ETA @ SIN around 13:35LT, about 9.5 hours to go...

You are most welcome, wlgspotter. The lovely photos come from a350 production.net. 9V-SGB is definitely on her Delivery Flight and should arrive at Changi at around 1.05pm local time.

Here are photos of 9V-SGB taking off on her Delivery Flight.

Fake news just to generate views......lol

It was indeed fake news, as I had mentioned to Kim, the author, that this was not being able to be substantiated. She responded, and apologized, and mentioned that there was confusion in conflicting reports. The page has since been taken down but not after I had challenged its authenticity.

Guess it is fake news. The first ULR is to New York. They can write it to SFO?

That's my conclusion too.

I've just searched the MEL website for departures long in advance and searched all weeks in October on the SQ website flight schedules. The only flights listed are the standard ones operating on the standard days with the standard craft.

There's no way any existing flight to or from MEL would be so empty that they could not only shift all the Y pax to PEY but also start offering J redemptions. I also find it highly unlikely that SQ is going to start scheduling what essentially would be joyrides on a regular basis by creating a sixth flight to MEL. I call shenanigans!

Singapore to Melbourne on the new A350 ULR
By Kim Chamberlin

Singapore Airlines has commenced daily flights to Melbourne on the brand new A350 ULR, temporarily, before commencing its highly anticipated Singapore to San Francisco non stop flights late October. The A350 ULR brings exciting times to aviation as we look ahead to ultra long haul flights. Kris Flyers members wanting to get an awards seat on this brand new plane, can do so by using just 58,000 Kris Flyer miles in Business class, one way SIN - MEL.

Don't know if anybody has posted this before but I just noticed Singapore airlines have published the seat map for the A350 Regional on their website.
